What does Device Manager look like?

More than likely, you need to install a driver for the sound card. What type of system/sound card is it?

^wut he said...drivers. W2k is great...minus the fact that it comes preloaded with just about 0 device drivers...

its the worst when you can't find your ethernet card drivers with W2k and then your really SOL...no online = no drivers for you

I have a Creative Labs CT4810. I have tried to install drivers and i get a message saying i dont have the card installed. Isnt thats what the driver is for?

Member Avatar

the drivers tell the computer what to do with the hardware (what it is, how it works, etc)


possibly your hardware is broken?
